Flights to Sumgayit
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Sumgayit is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD), 35 km (22 mi) from the centre, whose 13,123-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heydar Aliyev International Airport | GYD | 35 km (22 mi) | 13,123 ft | 10 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,123 ft, GYD can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 10 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
